How to unlock the Tough Nut achievement in Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Honestly this game isnt that hard, you could easily do this on your first attempt. If you choose to play the game on hard on your first attempt you will unlock both achievements for completing the game on easy and medium include hard of course. Chapter 14 is probably the hardest mission to do however there is a glitch to make it so much more eaiser. Info on how to do it is in the spoiler. You just need to be carful your health, its a bit less compared to normal, so you can't go running and gunning you will need to use cover correctly, enemies arnt harder I don't think the damage is the same however they know your whereabouts and you can be spotted/ heared alot easier compared to normal. But overall this games diffculty shouldnt make you annoyed or anything like that just take your time and everything should be okdance





This is video is too show the glitch for Chapter 14

I have made all chapters in hard, but not in order. And it doesn't pop... Looks like it's mandatory to do in a single row

Can you redo all chapters on Hard, in order, and get the achievement, or do you need to actually start a New Game?

By completing your game on hard, you will get it at the same time as Made Man trophy_gold.png. This Hard diffculity is not as hard as it sounds, Just play carefully and you will get through it.

Below I present some more general advice.
  • During a fist fight, keep the block all the time. You are then untouchable. Fight with quick attacks right after you avoid the enemy's blow. This is a safe tactic for the first encounter before we get to know the counter mechanics of the main storyline.
  • During shootouts, always hide somewhere behind cover. You can also easily shoot down enemies by slightly leaning out from behind the wall. It happens that the opponents are standing and just waiting to be shot.
  • If you often lose your health level, it replenishes less and less, then it is worth buying something to eat or drink at the bar or use the fridge in the apartment.
  • You don't have to worry too much about the ammunition. The enemies leave a lot of her. We can also pick up weapons from them.
During the whole game I had actually one more difficult moment. It was a fight in the docks, where the opponent constantly hurled Molotov cocktails inflicting damage, even if they exploded a piece away from you. Additionally, the thing takes place in a closed warehouse, where gangsters with machine guns still enter but if you die, you have to cross the harbour again towards this warehouse. However, there is a way to this clash. Normally you knock out all the opponents outside the port. Once you are about to head towards the open warehouse, get into some car. You slowly drive inside to activate the fight with the opponent, then quickly drive back outside. This allows you to shoot calmly from behind the gate, where the hail of cocktails will not reach you.

Complete all 15 Chapters on Hard difficulty. It is fairly easy since you do a lot of driving and a fair amount of shooting. Here are some tips to keep you alive:
 
  • Stay in cover at all times! A couple bullets may graze you and kill you.
  • Shoot at enemies when they are reloading. If they are in cover, be ready to shoot once they come around the corner to shoot again.
  • If you can, aim at a location you know enemies will run through (ex. a door or hallway). Be ready on the trigger.
  • If you keep failing in a spot, try to use a different tactic (ex. a different gun or moving to the opposite end of the hall).
  • Never go to shoot or come out of cover when you are getting fired upon. You will kill yourself in the process.
  • Have enough ammo before starting a mission. Don't run out of ammo in the middle of a firefight.
  • Make good use of the button-a.png cover system. You can slide to pieces of cover if you are in a tight squeeze.
Note: Some people have reported that this achievement doesn't unlock after they beat the game on Hard. The solution to this is fairly simple; just replay and beat any chapter on hard after you beat the game. Some people reported it unlocking hours later, and for some it unlocks as the next chapter starts, but either way, replaying a chapter on Hard should fix the problem.

In Chapter 14, if you can’t kill Derek or don’t want to worry, kill everyone on the street, then get into any vehicle, jump into the water on it, the game will restart, the garage door will become closed, and you enter through Derek’s office and out of it. It won't be difficult to kill everyone

On a difficult level, enemies will not be shown on the mini map and it will be a little more difficult with weapons and hand-to-hand combat

Just be careful, don’t drive cars and use cover and everything will be fine.

You will feel the difference between difficulty levels in shootouts. The damage to you will be much greater. You will especially notice this in Chapter 14, when you will be smoked out of your hiding places with Molotov cocktails. Whoever has reached it will understand. Run deeper into the room before opponents appear. There you kill two enemies and wait for others to start descending. After which you can hide behind the stairs to the top and finish off the rest from there. The remaining shootouts in chapters 14-15 are completed stupidly by trial and error, memorizing the location of the enemies. Until chapter 14, at least for me, there were no problems with shootouts.

Only ran into problems with chapter 14 and the final mission (observatory)
Before Chapter 14, stock up on grenades. When you go to kill Derek (the second enemy on the task), you will need to go into the hangar, where the door will close behind you and cocktails and heavy fire will fly from the second floor. In this situation, go deeper into the building (first floor) to find yourself under the opponents. Attention, 2 people will appear from below (near the wall), we kill them. Then we take out grenades and crawl out a little from under the balcony on which the opponents are waiting, if you crawl out too much, Derek’s bodyguards will kill you. Now we throw grenades in the opposite direction, at the top of the ceiling, so that they bounce off the ceiling and fall to the second floor, and repeat the same on the other side. To be sure, you can throw it twice. (I managed to kill everyone on the second floor with 5 grenades). Also be careful, Derek launches 2 waves of 2 people each, they go down the stairs from the second floor.
